preventative colonoscopy

Does anyone know if for commercial carriers such as Oxford?..if a pt has some bleeding from hemmorhoids, but no other symptoms..and is coming for first colonoscopy..do the hemmorhoids make it diagnostic, even before the procedure is done? or is that incidental, and will not change the procedure?..also if a polyp is found in colon, then can I still code as V76.51 211.3 in that order? so pt won't have to pay in network deductible and will be considered as preventative? not sure..read medicare info on this and still not sure.
